NAME

       globus-personal-gatekeeper - Manage a user's personal gatekeeper daemon

SYNOPSIS

       globus-personal-gatekeeper [-help ] [-usage ] [-version ] [-versions ] [-list ]
       [-directory CONTACT]

DESCRIPTION

       The globus-personal-gatekeeper command is a utility which manages a gatekeeper and job
       manager service for a single user. Depending on the command-line arguments it will operate
       in one of several modes. In the first set of arguments indicated in the synopsis, the
       program provides information about the globus-personal-gatekeeper command or about
       instances of the globus-personal-gatekeeper that are running currently. The second set of
       arguments indicated in the synopsis provide control over starting a new
       globus-personal-gatekeeper instance. The final set of arguments provide control for
       terminating one or more globus-personal-gatekeeper instances.

       The -start mode will create a new subdirectory of $HOME/.globus and write the
       configuration files needed to start a and write the configuration files needed to start a
       globus-gatekeeper daemon which will invoke the globus-job-manager service when new
       authenticated connections are made to its service port. The globus-personal-gatekeeper
       then exits, printing the contact string for the new gatekeeper prefixed by GRAM contact:
       to standard output. In addition to the arguments described above, any arguments described
       in globus-job-manager(8) can be appended to the command-line and will be added to the job
       manager configuration for the service started by the globus-gatekeeper.

       The new globus-gatekeeper will continue to run in the background until killed by invoking
       globus-personal-gatekeeper with the -kill or -killall argument. When killed, it will kill
       the globus-gatekeeper and globus-job-manager processes, remove state files and
       configuration data, and then exit. Jobs which are running when the personal gatekeeper is
       killed will continue to run, but their job directory will be destroyed so they may fail in
       the LRM.

       The full set of command-line options to globus-personal-gatekeeper consists of:

       -help, -usage
           Print command-line option summary and exit

       -version
           Print software version

       -versions
           Print software version including DiRT information

       -list
           Print a list of all currently running personal gatekeepers. These entries will be
           printed one per line.

       -directory CONTACT
           Print the configuration directory for the personal gatekeeper with the contact string
           CONTACT.

       -debug
           Print additional debugging information when starting a personal gatekeeper. This
           option is ignored in other modes.

       -start
           Start a new personal gatekeeper process.

       -jmtype LRM
           Use LRM as the local resource manager interface. If not provided when starting a
           personal gatekeeper, the job manager will use the default fork LRM.

       -auditdir AUDIT_DIRECTORY
           Write audit report files to AUDIT_DIRECTORY. If not provided, the job manager will not
           write any audit files.

       -port PORT
           Listen for gatekeeper TCP/IP connections on the port PORT. If not provided, the
           gatekeeper will let the operating system choose.

       -log[=DIRECTORY]
           Write job manager log files to DIRECTORY. If DIRECTORY is omitted, the default of
           $HOME will be used. If this option is not present, the job manager will not write any
           log files. will be used. If this option is not present, the job manager will not write
           any log files.

       -seg
           Try to use the SEG mechanism to receive job state change information, instead of
           polling for these. These require either the system administrator or the user to run an
           instance of the globus-job-manager-event-generator program for the LRM specified by
           the -jmtype option.

       -acctfile ACCOUNTING_FILE
           Write gatekeeper accounting entries to ACCOUNTING_FILE. If not provided, no accounting
           records are written.

EXAMPLES

       This example shows the output when starting a new personal gatekeeper which will schedule
       jobs via the lsf LRM, with debugging enabled.

           % globus-personal-gatekeeper -start -jmtype lsf

           verifying setup...
           done.
           GRAM contact: personal-grid.example.org:57846:/DC=org/DC=example/CN=Joe User

       This example shows the output when listing the current active personal gatekeepers.

           %  globus-personal-gatekeeper -list
           personal-grid.example.org:57846:/DC=org/DC=example/CN=Joe User

       This example shows the output when querying the configuration directory for the above
       personal gatekeeper. gatekeepers.

           %  globus-personal-gatekeeper -directory "personal-grid.example.org:57846:/DC=org/DC=example/CN=Joe User"
           /home/juser/.globus/.personal-gatekeeper.personal-grid.example.org.1337

           %  globus-personal-gatekeeper -kill "personal-grid.example.org:57846:/DC=org/DC=example/CN=Joe User"
           killing gatekeeper: "personal-grid.example.org:57846:/DC=org/DC=example/CN=Joe User"
